19) Mean Streets (1973)
Martin Scorsese's Mean Streets ends with a brutal, sudden confrontation. Finally, Charlie (Harvey Keitel) and Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro) are going to face the violent reprisals of their enemies. The movie ends black as the scene erupts in chaos, giving no tidy ending. Such an ending speaks to the gritty realism of the narrative, speaking of the inevitable violence and consequences of life on the edge. Inevitably, it is a daring conclusion to firmly establish Mean Streets as a turning point in Scorsese's filmography.
